Alamär

Alamär is a fictional planet featured in the science fiction novel "The Sky of Andromeda" by author Elara Vance. The planet is described as a terrestrial world located in the Kepler-186 system, orbiting a red dwarf star. Alamär's surface is characterized by vast, crimson oceans and continents covered in bioluminescent flora that emit a soft, ethereal glow during the planet's prolonged nights. Its atmosphere is rich in oxygen and nitrogen, with trace amounts of methane, which contributes to its unique atmospheric coloration.

The dominant sentient species on Alamär are the Lumina, a silicon-based lifeform with crystalline exoskeletons that refract light, giving them a shimmering appearance. The Lumina are known for their advanced understanding of quantum mechanics and their deep connection to the planet's natural energy fields. Their society is highly communal, with individuals sharing thoughts and experiences through a form of telepathic resonance.

Alamär's climate is generally temperate, with moderate seasonal variations. The red dwarf star provides a dimmer, redder light compared to Earth's sun, influencing the planet's ecosystem and the evolution of its inhabitants. The novel depicts Alamär as a peaceful world, largely untouched by interstellar conflict, though it faces internal challenges related to resource management and maintaining ecological balance. The planet serves as a backdrop for exploring themes of symbiosis, consciousness, and the diversity of life in the universe.
